It has been another busy week for all of the Primary students, in particular Year 2 who held a fundraising event for Shramik School in the form of setting up their very own restaurant. This also served as the Exit Point for the topic You Are What You Eat.
The children did a wonderful job not only making the pizzas ready for their parents and carers, but also setting up the restaurant area, serving food and drinks, and helping collect payments which once covering costs came to 24530 NPR as donations. All of the students and parents had a wonderful time as you can see in the photos below.
All of the Year 2 team would like to thank everyone who attended and supported us in making this possible.
We also welcomed parents for our eSafety information session led by our Computing Coordinator, Ms Katherine Harriswho shared our approaches to teaching eSafety at school along with information on age restrictions for a variety of social media apps and advice on parental controls. It was wonderful to see so many of our parents engaging with this topic.
Whilst teaching in Year 3 later this week, I was able to utilise our eSafety and computing curriculum whilst looking at the different types of digital devices we use, the applications we use them for and the differences between digital and non digital ways of drawing.
Our Year 3 students logged onto our school laptops, successfully logging in, using the 鈥楶aint鈥� software and saving their digital versions of the paintings they had previously created using watercolours.
It is a pleasure to see our young learners expanding their computing skills and their digital literacy in a safe and informed way.
Our Primary team are busy planning for another exciting week next week, when we are combining our 91传媒 Poetry week with organising community partners projects. We are looking forward to welcoming students from Mary Ward school & Shamrik School to come and spend the afternoon working with our Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 students to learn, rehearse and perform poetry together.
